Chapter 709 Mysterious Power

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The huge and vicious creatures were a few tentacle monsters. Maybe because it was near the sea, they appeared much more often here. But compared to the large tentacle monster Chu Yunsheng saw in the past, their sizes were not too big. However, with his current situation, he still couldn’t underestimate them.

The movement of the killing awakened the blue-haired girl Aphro. She only heard a fierce roar, and then after she woke up, there were several huge monsters’ bodies lying on the ground, so she didn’t know what had happened.

Chu Yun moved his fingers, storing the corpses of the tentacle monsters into the storage talisman, glanced at the dark distance, and said: “It’s too quiet here. The blood and noise will attract more monsters, and maybe there will be a large swarm of insects. We have to go.”

He heard the sound of Aphro crawling out of the smelly ditch, and turned his head, “Aphro, can you still carry me?”

After being taught by Yuan Xiaoyi and other language experts for more than a month, the blue-haired girl could understand a few simple language syllables, plus the body language of Old Youling, Aphro nodded and said stiffly, “Ye… Yes.”

“That’s good.” Chu Yunsheng said with a deep voice. “We must first find a secluded place to recover. If we are going to Egypt, it is unrealistic to travel on foot.”

Aphro’s thin tail was the best “radar”. She could feel Chu Yunsheng’s position and sitting posture without using her eyes. She stepped forward respectfully, first bowed, and said something that Chu Yunsheng couldn’t understand; but he could tell that she had said the word ‘Gai Yi Si’ a couple of times. Only after that did she solemnly lift Chu Yunsheng up and carry him on her back. Apparently, she still regarded Chu Yunsheng as the omnipotent Gai Yi Si. However, after so many days in the scientific research base, there seemed to be a little confusion in her eyes.

Chu Yunsheng was heavy, so Aphro, who was also exhausted, struggled to lift up Chu Yunsheng. Seeing this, Old Youling quickly reacted. It quickly wrapped itself around her body to help her lift Chu Yunsheng up. At the same time, it asked, “The skill you just used now, was it the Creation Out Of Thin Air?”

“Creation out of thin air?” Chu Yunsheng raised his brows slightly on Aphro’s back and said: “I don’t know, I actually had some questions that I wanted to ask you, so I used it to kill the tentacle monsters so that you can observe it… Did you feel anything at that time?”

Thinking of the scene just now, Old Youling said, “There seemed to be a sword in my body. It felt very strange. The sword didn’t seem to be created by an outside force, and it was just a feeling. However, it was a forced feeling. It forced me to think that there was a sharp sword in my body.”

“Furthermore, that sword seemed to be produced entirely by my thoughts. It did not seem to have anything to do with you. However, it was also closely related to you in a way that I don’t know how to describe it. Now that I think about it carefully, the source of that sword was still you. There was a feeling of sword intent in the beginning, but it wasn’t the sword intent that I read in books. How should I put it? Let me think… it wasn’t something illusional, but a real Will and real thought; however, it didn’t belong to you, it belonged to myself. It made me think that there should be a sword, even if I didn’t want to think that way, it still forced me to think that way whether I liked it or not.”

“And to be able to do this, there must be a real sword there! So, so, it is similar to creating something out of thin air! ”

Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment and said, “Although what you said may not be correct, there is no obvious mistake. I really didn’t feel any sword intent myself. I was just thinking that a sword should appear there. At this time, the appearance of the first sword in my mind would provide me with the shape of this sword. The clearer the appearance of the sword in my mind is, the clearer that sword will be, and similarly, the more blurry the appearance of the sword is, the more fuzzy that sword will be.”

Old Youling was puzzled: “But there was no light around, and you couldn’t see the appearance of the first sword, so how could you remember it in your mind?”

Chu Yunsheng laughed at himself, “You forgot how I survived many dangers? From the first day I stepped out of the rented flat, I lived by a sword. It has been so many years that sometimes I don’t even remember what I look like; but how long, how heavy, and how small the sword in my hand is, is always as clear as if it is engraved in my head. I couldn’t be more familiar with a sword. I don’t need to look at it at all. I can imagine what it looks like with my eyes closed. So if it is really the creation out of thin air, a sword is the only thing I can create.”

Old Youling thought for a second and said, “If you can create it even with your eyes closed, then why was the sword so blurry?”

Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “This is where I am confused about. Obviously, I can imagine what it looks like, but it is still just a shadow dangling in my mind; especially the details of the sword, once I touched it, it would dissipate; which was completely different from the real sword. To achieve this, there is only one way. It is to do it in a dream. Only in a dream, can you trick the brain into ‘seeing’ a real sword.”

Old Youling shook its head and said: “The more you talk about it, the more confused I am.”

The light in Chu Yunsheng’s eyes condensed, and he said quietly, “There is no need to be confused. I have already thought of some key points. For example, the question of control over the brain when you are awake. Eyes and ears only transmit the external information they see and hear to the brain through neurochemical and electrical conduction. The speed of transmission is very fast, but it is not so fast that there is no process. If we regard eyes and ears receiving external information as the first process, the neurochemical and electrical conduction as the second process, and the brain receiving and processing neural information as the third process.

In these three processes, if we remove the first and the second processes, leaving only the third process, then it is no different from dreaming. In a dream, the brain can organize huge amounts of information on its own and treat it as external information transmitted by nerves, so that the person in the dream can feel that what he sees, hears, or even touches!

This is where the problem lies. When you are awake, your consciousness is unable to organize such a huge amount of information, because it has a paradox restriction. If it is organized, there will be irreconcilable conflicts with the huge information you see, hear, and touch; the brain will not be able to figure out which is true and which is false. In this way, your brain will very likely collapse.”

Old Youling replied in shock, “Then does that mean that what you did earlier was very risky…?”

Chu Yunsheng nodded slightly and said: “Yes, had there been a slight difference just now, I would have become an idiot or directly collapse and die. Even if my current control of the third process was very weak, and I could only organize a little vague information, the feeling of extreme confusion and stinging conflict of the brain at that moment was like walking a tightrope on the edge of death. So I couldn’t keep the sword I made for a longer period of time, nor do I dare to keep it for a longer period of time.

Moreover, I can still feel the chaotic sequelae left by it. If I don’t figure out the other key issues, every time I use it, not only will there be a risk of death, but the sequelae will also be accumulated more and more, and eventually, it will kill me.

But, Old Youling, I don’t regret it, because this is the only way I can kill the gray shadow, who has entered the Cardinal Source Gate. No matter where I hide, they will find me sooner or later.”

Old Youling was silent for a moment before saying: “I still don’t quite understand. The information that you organize in the third process in your own head should exist only in your head. But why does it affect me and those tentacle monsters?”

As soon as it said that, it suddenly realised something and blurted it out, “Is it because of this place?”

Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, “It must have something to do with this place. Whether it is a pseudo monolith, a node, a rainbow bridge, or an imaginary world, it is all related to me, or my memory, or my reincarnation. When the information I organized in the third process determines that the sword is true, it will become true here. Therefore, at that time, whether you like it or not, you will think that there is a sword there.

But this condition is not sufficient. Otherwise, it would’ve been a mess here. There are bound to be restrictions such as the restrictions for the simulation of the node. It is definitely not an area where I can interfere. However, although it is not a basic necessary condition, it is still an extremely advantageous condition. It helps me to make a sword here out of thin air. If I left here, I would probably not be able to make that sword with my current ability.

And the key point is why I was able to make this sword. I still don’t understand. I can only use it according to this feeling, so I have to ask you. After all, in some respects, you know much more than me.”

Old Youling thought for a second and said, “It is actually not that strange to create something out of nothing in the universe, but this is not something that can be done by humans. For example, in the vacuum, energy can fluctuate in a very short period of time; small or extremely large energy fluctuation can appear in any place out of thin air, but this kind of borrowed energy will be returned very quickly, and then disappear without a trace. This process is so fast that their existence cannot be detected, because the product of their fluctuating energy and the time of the appearance is less than the smallest constant unit.

In fact, this kind of fluctuating energy has been discovered by humans using equations and experiments before the great Darkness. It is called Virtual Particle. If you want to control and detect it, there is only one and impossible way to do it. First of all, you must have a way to borrow energy out of thin air at any time and then delay the time of returning it so that its product becomes larger than the smallest constant unit. At this time, it will be transformed into real particles and exist in reality, just like a creation out of thin air!”

Chu Yunsheng shook his head, “This is not creating things out of thin air. This is creating things by borrowing things. Maybe it can be done at Yuan Tian stage four or even higher realms, but it is still different. The method you said still follows the three processes I mentioned, starting from the first process until the third process. But my feeling was very simple. It started with the third process, and then through you and those monsters, the first and the second processes would appear. Its order was completely reversed. There is a big difference.

However, I always feel that it has a lot to do with Wuzi Fragment. This thing has never left my zero-dimensional space. But zero-dimensional space should not have anything other than consciousness. Black gas is closely related to my consciousness, so it is different. I still don’t know what it is. Earlier, under the gray shadow man’s attack, I felt that the more I resisted that giant finger, the stronger the power of the finger was. At the edge of life and death, I was thinking that even if I was going to die, I still wanted to cut it off with a sword. That kind of will was very strong, as if there was only such a rebellious sword left in the whole consciousness… then you saw what happened later.

At that time, I was already in a half-conscious state. After the sword came out, I passed out directly, but the hazy feeling remained, so I was staring at the sword just now. I wanted to experience that kind of feeling again.

After retrying it just now, I was roughly able to figure out that Wuzi Fragment could help me organize the third process. I could rely on them to form the information of a sword, and use them as a bridge to allow the conscious mind to gain active control of the brain. But why was it reflected in your eyes? According to the nature of the existence of the Wuzi Fragment, I guess that it may be an extension of the zero-dimensional space… wait…”

Chu Yunsheng frowned, “How can zero-dimensional space extend in three or even four-dimensional space when itself doesn’t have any dimensions? Wait, when the first time the Wuzi Fragment appeared, it was also outside, but… Yes, when it first appeared, the shadow of the senior practitioner also appeared. Not only the eyes of the armor opened, but the senior practitioner also left a message; especially the message, it was obviously the information organized by the third process, it was not a sound! Previously, what the senior practitioner left was only the text… but the snow-white armor was so similar to the sword I created!”

Chu Yunsheng’s eyes seemed to gradually become clear. Then he suddenly said: “I understand it now. The senior practitioner only left the information and the last trace of striking energy in the Wuzi Fragment, and then used me to complete the final blow to the heir of the owner of the Seven Divine Nails. But because the senior practitioner has passed away for countless years, his zero-dimensional space has long disappeared. He can’t… so he must use my zero-dimensional space to help me… I see it! It is not an out-of-body extension of the zero-dimensional space and consciousness, but directly breaks through the limitations and barriers of multi-dimensional space and gets into the zero-dimensional space of others, forcing their consciousnesses to believe that there is a sword, a snow-white armor!”

The light in Chu Yunsheng’s eyes gradually condensed, and he said sharply: “What kind of power is this? It is so powerful that it allows me to break through multi-dimensional barriers and forcibly break into others’ zero-dimensional space! ?”

Hearing this, Old Youling couldn’t help but shudder and ask, “So when did you start to feel this power? Was it during the attack earlier? Or was it during the attack above the arctic base?”

When Chu Yunsheng heard this question, his already cleared eyes were filled with confusion again, “Not those two… I don’t know. Before entering the Pseudo-Monolith, I never even knew that there was such a power existing in the world. Even at the arctic base, I still didn’t notice it. After entering the Pseudo-Monolith, everything I have experienced confused me, especially after hearing what the sixth sequence said, it made me even more confused. Even until now, I have only had a glimpse of a fraction of its true power.”

……translator’s note…

In case anyone is still confused about what they are talking about.

So the traditional attacking method is basically a physical attack.

You have a sword which is something physical. You can see it, you can touch it,

And when you stab someone with that sword, the person can feel that sword because it is something physical.

Even if it is a magical attack, most magic is used to form someone that can be felt and touched, whether it is fire, ice, wind, or sword qi.

The attack method here is nothing like that.

Here, it directly attacks people’s minds.

It forces you to think that there is a sword.

It forces you to think that you are injured by a sword.

Since the mind controls the physical body,

if mind/zero-dimension dies, the person will also die.
